I've been eyeing on their product since about one year ago. I'm curious to have one, to touch the feel of the product, but it's quite pricey for me (well, Cocomomo used real leather so the price is actually worth the quality). Finally the time has come!!! I'm having one Cocomomo's product!! \(^o^)/

Excuse my sleepy face. Actually i feel happy! Heheheh.

I've been inspired by the owner, mbak Ayang, since i first read her blog (when i fall in love to a blog, I'd read the story from the beginning hehehe). It's about when she become unemployed, feeling afraid of what will come next, having no money, and then started to find out her passion. She loves to create. And as she poured her heart into her creations, her brand got bigger & got lots of love. Now you can find the products at Grand Indonesia, Jakarta.

Verryyy neat sewing

Good packaging (makes you happy since the first you received the package, open it, and see what's inside)

I was pretty shocked when I received an email from Ashfi. It's an invitation to the event of Ina's Scarf!!!! Oh my God!!! I was soooo excited! The mail was sent to many girls including Hijabi FashionWeek's participant (yeah, me was :D). Buuutttt, as the mail came at Wednesday, and the event is held on Friday, I wondered.... Could I come???

Ina's scarf is the new 'it' scarf from the designer Irna Mutiara (please google if you don't know her). I'm sure the event would be fun and thrilling and every nice thing I could see.

The problem is I live at Surabaya. The event is at Bandung T_____T

And after checking plane ticket's price (althought 50% of me knew, going there is such a stupid thing and wasting money, but I still keep my hope!), aaaaaaarrggghhhh.... One way ticket was about ONE MILLION RUPIAHS!!! It's not fair, compared to what I would get (10% discount, delicious food by chef, goodie bag, and the experience to meet designers and bloggers---ummm well, that would be a precious experience of course!)

... I thought I was on my way pursuing my dream. Working at my family's company (to supply monthly-money-needs) and studying sewing at the same time.
But I'm now questioning.
I should have started everything if I am serious to have my own business. I should have done doing material research, looking for garment company, making my own label, having a business-partner, thinking of marketing strategy, but the truth, I haven't done all of that!!
I could have an excuse, "I am still studying sewing now..."
But that's just an excuse. If I'm willing, I could just hire a pattern maker.
I need some strength & some time to do it all (since I haven't got a partner by my side).
I am still afraid to fail, afraid to hurt myself.
Well yeah, I've read some motivation books, I've tried to be positive. I know that the best business idea is a business you start immediately!
Why I haven't started anything?

Actually it hurts me in a sweet way to see some of my blogger friends have already fly higher making their dreams come true. Surely I am happy, inspired, but jealous too! Heheheh.

Now I'm thinking to have a 1 month vacation. No working. Just thinking, and preparing my life. Can I???

It all started with a group of muslimahs in Surabaya who were inspired by HijabersComm (HC). HC could successfully gather many muslimahs and held some good events like Islamic study, bazaar & hijab class.

They were a bit disappointed when HC closed the branch-development, coz they were preparing to join the part.

As many muslimahs support that "in Surabaya, there should be a community that can be as useful as HC, inspiring muslimahs to wear hijab & do good deeds", the group will keep doing the faith. It's good if in the end they become one organisation inside HC, if not, it's still okay.

Lately I (happily) joined :D

*** there were a bit of worry inside myself to join such community. Since usually the members look fashionable & beautiful all-the-time, I was afraid I'll push myself to be more fashionable too. Now I know such kind of worry is not important at all and it was just my negative thinking of something I haven't try.

The important thing is I could give my opinion, my energy & my ability to do good deeds such as charity, study,etc. Maybe I found some kind of enjoyment like what I feel when I was still a busy-student-committee at campus not-so-long-years-ago :D hehehehh

Last Sunday I followed my mom visiting wedding at Graha ITS Surabaya. We're working to supervise the catering there. Well, going to wedding event but working at the same time, I wore my turquoise blazer. No time for mix & match so I grabbed any skirt I saw and any jilbab I have. Heyy luckily my Claro veil match the color! :D

Around 7.30 pm I felt bored and suddenly I had the idea of visiting my laboratory at the campus. No one can stop me. The road was dark, (hahaha only about 5 minutes walking from the event). I wished there were somebody at the laboratory (usually lab's assistant work at the lab until late at night).

Alhamdulillah my junior was at the lab with his friends :D

I played with computers there, looking at my friend's folders, found our old photos, and missing them sooooo much!

Then I went back to Graha. Heyyyyyyyy I met my juniors!!! They were my lab's assistant, eating the catering's food! Hmmmm that's why the lab was less crowded :p Cheese! :D

This picture was found in my friend's folder. We were KOI Laboratory's assistant! Miss u all brothers & sisters!!!
